But Why Bacon?"

A few weeks ago, as she was showing off her newly crocheted piece of bacon, my cousin proclaimed:’Bacon: It’s the New Cupcake.’ As you may have noticed, cupcakes have been a huge trend in recent years. But my cousin was right. Lately, those adorable morsels (whose popularity is most commonly credited by Magnolia Bakery’s appearance on Sex and the City) seem to be garnering some competition in our quest for quirky culinary obsessions.

It started innocently enough. My first introduction to out-of-the-box bacon was Vosge’s Mo’s Bacon Bar , and most connoisseurs of the trend agree that this subtly infused chocolate bar was the gateway drug to the bacon craze. After that, I began to notice that bacon was having a much greater presence in the foodie sphere. But it didn’t seem that strange because it was bacon as bacon should be. You know, like on burgers, breakfasts and BLTs. There were informative discussions on how to best cook bacon or even clubs where bacon lovers could unite (yes,there is more than one ) that are, while a bit eccentric, perfectly fine, right?..............
